For the first time in 3 days, I ventured off my little base, and what an adventure it was! We finally got our 40 miles per gallon rental car (below) A Vauxhall Astra, obviously not American- and Rodney nearly killed us 20 times driving today. -And can I just mention how crazy it is driving on the left side!-Their highways are kinda like L.A's; fast,crazy and crowded. Exactly why I won't be driving in the next 2 years here.
..On to why I went out in the first place, We went house hunting! what funn! It's unfortunate for the english though that most of their houses are so..err...different. (beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all) The majority are so old and even the new ones are meant to look like traditional english houses. You won't see any modern American style houses here (a la california?)
Having said that, I can appreciate a 1920's british styled house like this one we saw today:
My mom hates it though and thinks it's haunted. (I can see that too..can you?)Oh and another thing here, the english LOVE their gardens (I can't imagine why, when there is no good weather to spend any time in it) but this one had a hugee one-complete w. apple and pear trees. It was like a scene from The Secret Garden.
This one is my mom's favorite, which you can't actually see though because its covered by bushes and the garage. It's a bit newer than the first one and is very private. No one can see the front once you close that gate, and it goes all the way around the back to the garden.
So we only saw 3 today because the tours took quite a long time and I think we have 3 more tomorrow. I'll end this with some scenery of whats around me! (OH yeah..NOTHING)
Now that I see them, they actually all look the same. sorry about that guys! haha
